Book Review: The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain

Book Summary:In The Silent Sister, Riley MacPherson has spent her entire life believing that her older sister Lisa committed suicide as a teenager. Now, over twenty years later, her father has passed away and she's in New Bern, North Carolina cleaning out his house when she finds evidence to the contrary. Lisa is alive. Alive and living under a new identity. But why exactly was she on the run all those years ago, and what secrets are being kept now? As Riley works to uncover the truth, her discoveries will put into question everything she thought she knew about her family. Riley must decide what the past means for her present, and what she will do with her newfound reality, in this engrossing mystery from international bestselling author Diane Chamberlain.My thoughts:As soon as I saw this book on the new release list at my local library, I just knew I had to request it! After a month of waiting, I finally got my hands on it! I'm a HUGE Diane Chamberlain fan, so I couldn't wait to dig in.My daughter and I sat down on the couch to do our nightly 20 minutes of reading, and after the 20 minutes was up, I couldn't stop. I was already addicted. This story is mysterious, exciting and also pulls at the heartstrings a little. I can't even imagine how Riley feels after these crazy chain of events in her life. This book was so good, I finished it in less than 24 hours. You know those nights of staying up until 1am because the book is that good? Yep, this is one of those.Although I predicted exactly what was going to happen about halfway through, it was so worth it. Diane Chamberlain has a way with words and storytelling and she never disappoints! Highly recommended!I rated this book 5 stars!
